With a well-established twenty-year tradition, this Second-Level Postgraduate Master’s Programme has consistently stood out for its ability to prepare key professionals for the management of healthcare organizations, equipped with innovative vision and advanced managerial skills, and able to adapt to a rapidly evolving context.
The Second-Level Postgraduate Master adopts an experiential learning approach, combining interactive lectures, case studies, group work and project work. On-campus teaching (approximately 200 hours) encourages peer exchange, networking and direct interaction with the faculty, who can tailor content and methods in real time to the needs of the class. Each year, additional in-depth seminars on specific and current topics are also organized to complement the programme.
The aim of the course is to train professional profiles—such as heads of units and/or organization-wide processes and Chief Executive Officers/General Directors—with advanced competencies enabling them to:
• develop a conceptual framework for the governance of healthcare organizations, within which to contextualize the exchange of different perspectives;
• create an innovative vision and communicate it effectively, with particular attention to internal and external communication, industrial relations, pathways to economic-financial and environmental sustainability (green healthcare organizations), gender equality and social equity;
• build strategic thinking, along with the skills, attitudes and practice needed to introduce and promote new models of care that ensure continuity of care and patient-centred care pathways;
• make well-founded decisions in a changing environment;
• understand and apply appropriate management tools to govern integration across hospital and community/district-based services, health and social care, territorial areas, and inter- and intra-professional settings;
• design, implement and evaluate clinical networks and care models for prevention and health promotion;
• design macro- and micro-organizational structures oriented toward digital innovation.
